New quick settings help you optimize your Gmail layout
Tuesday, May 26, 2020
When you click on Settings, you’ll now see different interfaces, inbox types, and display options alongside your real inbox. When an option is selected, the inbox will immediately update so you can compare choices and see how settings work in real time.
The full settings menu is still available by clicking the “See all settings” button at the top of the new quick settings menu.
- Customizing the density of text and information displayed
- Choosing a different inbox type to help intelligently prioritize and organize emails
- Adding reading panes to quickly see email contents
- Applying themes to personalize the look and feel of your inbox
We’re making these options easier to find, and letting you explore them in real time, so your actual inbox will update immediately to show you exactly what the setting will do. We hope this makes it easier to set up Gmail the way that works best for you.
End users: This feature will be ON by default. Visit the Help Center to learn more about customizing Gmail settings, or how to help users switch to Gmail from Microsoft Outlook.
